Chapter 210: Secret Location
"Hahaha! Good, good! I a.s.sure you that you have made the right decision. If you can really unseal me, I will do as I said."
After hearing Lin Hao saying he has accepted his offer and was ready to help him, that old man started to laugh madly.
"Go a hundred meters straight and you will find a very small cave. The moment you will enter that cave, you will see an altar there. Just drop a few drops of your blood on the alter and that alter will transport you to a very secret location. There, you have to search for a golden gate. When you can find the golden gate, you will know what to do next!"
That old man explained everything to Lin Hao in his hoa.r.s.e voice. Lin Hao nodded his head and started to run straight and soon he arrived in front of that small cave.
This small cave was really small. If he wanted to enter the cave, he has to bent half and then enter.
"Little fellow, are you sure you want to take that kid with you to that dangerous place. The place you are going to is really dangerous. It is not a place where you can just joke around!"
When Lin Hao was observing the small cave, he once again heard the old man"s voice. He nodded his head without any hesitation and said, "Yes, I am sure. Ye Xiao has saved my life and now that he is in this situation, how could I leave him behind!"
Hearing this, the old man did not say anything and Lin Hao also entered the small cave with Ye Xiao on his back. Soon he arrived in front of the alter that the old man was talking about.
This alter was big enough to contain ten people on it at once. He went to the middle of the altar and dropped a few drops of his blood causing the alter to shine with bright red light.
Soon the light started to disappear and when the light disappeared, Lin Hao was nowhere to be found.
_Three thousand feet below the ground at the centre of the Secret Realm_
It was a wide area that was surrounded by rock walls and there were many moonstones embedded on these rock walls, causing the surrounding to shine with a bright light just like the sunlight in the daytime.
At this moment, a weak red light flashed and a figure... no, it was two figures that appeared out of nowhere.
These two figures were Lin Hao and the unconscious Ye Xiao who was still resting on the back of Lin Hao.
That alter transported him here. He did not where he currently was but there was no doubt in his eyes that he was still inside the Secret Realm. He looked around and saw countless moonstones on the rock walls.
This area was very wide. He placed Ye Xiao down and was started to look for the golden gate but did not find it. He found three small paths going in three different directions.
He understood that he has to choose a path and walk on that path to move ahead. He still remembered what the old man told him before. This place was filled with danger.
"Which path should I choose!"
Lin Hao started to think but even after a long time, he was unable to decide which path he should choose to walk ahead.
Since he could not choose the path, he decided not to delve into it too much. He once again loaded Ye Xiao on his back and randomly chose a path and started to walk on that path.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
After he walked around twenty meters, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from his front. He was immediately alerted and started to move more cautiously.
Soon that path ended and he arrived at another open area but what shocked him was that there were some skeletons moving in this area with a long blade in their hands.
They were acting more like a guard strolling right and left in sequence. From the behaviour of these skeletons, one could tell that they were very alert as if they were protecting something.
Lin Hao counted and saw that there were seven skeletons here and these skeleton"s strength was around the Second or Third Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm.
Their eye sockets were empty and behind them, Lin Hao saw a large table and on top of that table, he saw a golden coloured apple.
"What is that golden apple? Is there something special about it?" Lin Hao thought then he shook his head and said in his heart, "We will found out after taking care of these skeletons."
Lin Hao was already a Ninth Stage Martial King Realm martial artist and just like Ye Xiao, he could also fight the opponent above his cultivation level.
In his eyes, taking care of these seven skeletons whose strength was only around a Second or Third Stage Martial Emperor Realm martial artist was as easy as killing an ant.
Without wasting any more time, he once again moved and soon attracted the attention of those seven skeletons.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Those skeletons pounced toward him with strange noise and slashed at him with their long blades.
Lin Hao did not even try to dodge them. He remained standing and a black coloured sword appeared in his hand. This sword was the same sword that he has gotten from the ruin after killing the giant.
He did not execute any martial arts skills. By just relying on his Sword Intent, he slashed the black sword and a terrifying ray of white light cut down the seven skeletons into many pieces.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Hao moved toward the Golden Apple but before he could move even ten steps, he felt something amiss. He hurriedly turned back and saw a very strange scene.
Those seven skeleton"s bones started to connect with each other once again and soon, seven skeleton"s were standing in front of Lin Hao without even a single scratch on their bones.
Lin Hao was surprised when he saw this scene. He once again slashed at the seven skeletons many times without waiting for them to attack and shattered their bones into thousands of pieces but still, these skeletons" bones once again connected with each other.
Seeing this, Lin Hao frowned. Dealing with these skeletons was not as easy as it looked from the surface. He curiously looked at the seven skeletons who once again pounced toward Lin Hao with their long blade to kill him.
Only when he focused on those skeletons did he saw a very small black bone on the chest of every skeleton. It was at the same place on every skeleton which looked very strange.
Lin Hao guessed maybe, this black bone was is the weak point of these skeletons.
A terrifying sword intent once again burst out from Lin Hao"s body which affected the movement of the seven skeletons pouncing toward Lin Hao with a long blade in their hands.
Lin Hao did not care about these skeletons. He condensed his spirit energy on the blade of his black sword and the black sword immediately started to shine with a bluish-black light.
A chilling aura burst out from the sword and coupled with Lin Hao"s Sword Intent, a wave of the sharp blade-like air spread in three directions.
"Demon Slaying Sword, Slaying The Demons In One Slash!"
A curved blade made up of bluish-black light appeared and slashed toward the skeletons. The moment this curved blade appeared, a sword force that seems like as if it wanted to cut through everything erupted out from it.
Shiii!
A very smooth sound of something cutting came out and that curved ray of light disappeared. The moment that light disappeared, the black bone on the chest of every skeleton cut down into two pieces.
It was very strange that only the black bone was cut down and there was no other cut or scratch on the skeletons" body.
Soon after their black bones were cut down into two pieces, those seven skeletons stopped in their track and fall down on the ground. Their bones separated from their bodies and scattered on the ground.
The story of these seven skeletons ended here at this moment by Lin Hao.
Lin Hao stored the black sword back into his spatial ring. Then he looked at the Golden Apple on the table, took a deep breath, and arrived before it.
He curiously looked at the Golden Apple and saw that this Golden Apple was actually made up of some kind of metal which was very tough. He did not move the Golden Apple from its place.
Being cautious is much better than being reckless.
He moved away from the table and started to focused on looking at this place curiously, searching for any clue on what to do but did not find anything.
Not finding anything worth his attention, he once again arrived before the table.
